As the end of the year grows nearer, so does Spotify Wrapped 2024. You may have begun to look back on the music you listened to this year and wonder, do I still have time to start listening music other than Brat and "Espresso" before it's time to post my list on my Instagram story? The short answer is maybe.

It used to be understood that Wrapped stopped tracking on Halloween, leaving November and December as unaccounted for months, but Spotify refuted that claim in 2022. In response to a since-deleted tweet from the pop culture updates account, Pop Cave, that claimed Wrapped would stop tracking on Oct. 31, the music giant wrote, "The only thing that we end on Halloween is eating candy corn. Stream (and snack) all through the year and we will see you in Wrapped season."

But Spotify has never revealed the exact date Wrapped stops tracking. At a press preview of Wrapped in 2022, Spotify's vice president of product development Babar Zafar further explained, "The Wrapped personalized experience covers streaming for 2022, so beginning in January and ending a few weeks prior to the launch on November 30. We aim to leave the cut-off date as late as possible to really create a truly personalized experience for the millions of listeners around the world."
